Cylist left brain damaged after mum smashed into him while high on cocaine

A mum-of-of four who was 16 times over the drug-drive limit when she almost killed a cyclist has been jailed.

Kelly Sumner, 35, snorted five or six bags of cocaine at a party the night before getting behind the wheel of her uninsured Nissan Micra just before 1pm.

She ploughed into IT consultant Stephen Derbyshire as he enjoyed a bike ride, flinging him 12 feet into the air and into a lamppost.

Mr Derbyshire, 58, was left with severe head injuries as well as a fractured spine and had to be airlifted to hospital on June 10 in Horwich, Greater Manchester.

Bolton Crown Court was told he only survived thanks to the quick-thinking actions of bystanders, who gave him CPR after he stopped breathing before emergency services arrived.
